    Johnson and Johnson have made significant contributions to the field of cooperative learning. They identified five key elements of cooperative learning: individual accountability, positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, group processing, and interpersonal skills. Cooperative learning involves students working in groups to achieve shared goals, with each student responsible for their own and their group's learning. It allows students to learn from each other, with more knowledgeable students helping others within their group. Johnson and Johnson also contributed to defining terminology around cooperative learning and consider it an important area for ongoing research and analysis.

    Johnson and Johnson's Thoughts on cooperative learning

    Johnsons and Johnsons have great and matchless contribution in the field of cooperative learning.
    Cooperative learning is doubtlessly a great way of learning. It is a great field of research and study as
    well. Cooperative learning encourages students to work in groups and teams. The core aim of this group
    or team is to achieve a specific task. Groups are created at beginning of the semester, for some specific
    semester activity, or for any other collaborative purpose. In this new method of learning, students learn
    much more than what they can learn in the typical mode of learning.

    According to Johnson and Johnson, there are five elements of cooperative learning. Though there are
    more than five, but the most basic elements or pillars of cooperative learning are: individual
    accountability, positive interdependence, face-to-face promotive interaction, Group processing, and
    Interpersonal and Small group skills. Positive interdependence refers to the 'feel' of each other. Students
    feel that they cannot work without the absence or one or more group members. The instructor can set
    the mutual goals in order to make the group move in a specific direction. Individual accountability refers
    to specific and group assessment that results in the skills and outcomes of each student and a whole
    group. Similarly, face-to-face promotive interaction encourages the students of a group by sharing and
    helping each other on specific topics. There can be one or more students of a group who don't have a
    good idea about some specific topic. But there can be a third student who is master of that topic.
    Interpersonal and small group skills refer to the social skills that each and every student of the group
    should have. It is necessary in order to have true and long term success of the group. Group processing
    refers to the assessment and remarking of the capabilities and actions of each group. For example,
    instructor can take three or four students from a group and can make an outline of what had made the
    group successful. Furthermore, the instructor can tell what points and factors can make the group even
    more successful in future.

    Besides discussing these five basic elements of cooperative learning, Johnson and Johnsons have
    contributed a lot to the fruitful field of cooperative learning. There is no doubt that it is a great field of
    research and theory that involved researchers and scientists from every corner of the world. Johnson
    and Johnsons have also contributed a lot in defining the cooperative learning terminology. For example,
    'critical thinking item' refers to those items which require synthesis and analysis in addition with the
    evaluation of conceptual framework of each and every student in the group. Similarly, drill and practical
    problem refers to those problems which are related to factual knowledge.

    Johnson and Johnsons consider cooperative learning not only a great method of teaching and learning
    but also a great subject of research and analysis. It is not only an interesting subject but it is also very
    fruitful in judging student and making them more capable of performing tasks.
